Make the Most of Your Travels
Think of travel as amateur anthropology. To make the most of your time in any given place, try to venture off the beaten path in search of a more authentic experience full of local flavor. For example, when visiting Paris, the thing you remember most may not be the Eiffel Tower itself, but the musicians you watched outside of the museum. In fact, one of Susan’s favorite travel memories is of simply having dinner with a regular family while in Japan.

Feeling the need to travel? There’s a whole big world out there. Here’s how every woman can get out and conquer it-solo. Fly Solo: The 50 Best Places on Earth for a Girl to Travel Alone is an inspiring guide for women who want to “fly solo” yet stay safe, sane, and solvent during their travels with this candid advice and insider’s secrets about some of the most exciting places on earth. Whether surfing in Hawaii, strolling the cobblestone streets of St. Petersburg, or swimming with dolphins in the Caribbean, women can take on the world and create lasting memories with the best travel companion ever-themselves!
